Sayid's test

What was torturing Sayid supposed to indicate to Dogen? If it didn't
hurt, he wasn't infected? Was it supposed to drive the infection out
of him?

Dogen blew ash over Sayid's body before doing some kind of electrical
test. I assume the combination of the ash and the electricity
revealed something to him.

That would make sense. When we've seen Smokey as of late, there is
lightning dancing about his billows, like a thunderstorm cloud.

How the branding fits in, still not sure.

Might be something that Smokey can't duplicate, and thus a way to tell
the real Sayid from a SmokeSayid :-)

I read that more like this:

This is the magic ash that keeps us out of Smokey's/Jacob's/MIB's
clutches when we spread it as a ring around things - if this guy is/is
sent by/possessed by one of those, he'll react to the ash (perhaps like
a vampire is supposed to react to holy water) and we'll have our answer
quick. If not, we need further testing. He didn't - OK, lets charge up
his battery. Hmmm... he didn't like that much, and we know that
Smokey/Jacob/MIB isn't bothered by it. More testing - break out the
branding iron! He screams bloody murder, and we know that
Smokey/Jacob/MIB isn't bothered by hot stuff... Eh... Guess he's not
actually Smokey/Jacob/MIB.

That doesn't do anything to explain (at least to me) how Dogen can
decide he's been "claimed" by some darkness that'll spread to his heart,
and... etc, though. Just makes sense as an explanation for the torture
as a crude way of "checking his ID", so to speak.

Whatever it was, Rousseau tried it too.

No, Danielle it's different ; most french women do that (at least
metaphorically).
